I've Rooted and flashed custom ROM's on different phones before but not a GS2. Can someone please link me to a guide that'd walk me through everything I need to know?
Cheers

Btw this is the forum link, he has all the files u need as well
for SGS2 theres a root method using zerg rush which is relatively safe compared to odin.. no soft brick risks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I know with other devices you use software to take advantage of an exploit to root and this process can be used on our SGS2 also but the Simplest method in my opinion is to flash (use Odin to install software from pc to phone) a rooted kernel which when done your good to go. Rooted and everything required installed and setup for you. 2 minutes.
Cfroot kernels are virtually stock kernels that have been rooted.
Once you are rooted your options are endless.
Enjoy.

I've been searching and reading for the past two hours. I currently have stock Vibrant with the new J16 OTA update. I want to root my phone and install a custom rom. I see there are many ways to root, but can someone guide me to a tutorial that guides me through the best way to Rooting and flashing a custom rom? Secondly, is there a tutorial on how to get back to original factory rom for warranty?
Thank you

My $0.02, skip the FroYo ROMs for now, they are all broken to some extent. Bionix Fusion, for me anyway, is the best and most stable custom ROM available for the Vibrant. EVERYTHING works, and it is fast and rock solid!
Root Vibrant
Bionix Fusion 1.1
You can't go wrong from those links.

Quoted for truth, Bionix is magic.
I have just started to use android. Galaxy S 2 is my 1st ever android device gifted by my wife on our 2nd anniversary. Even though it was bought in Lahore, Pakistan; it is 3 mobile UK branded gs2. I was about to root it watching this video: youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=KNVE0UDe-bQ
I realized that since this is branded and I cant even update it (which could mean that it is locked), I may not be able to root the device following this video. Also, I am confused since my device's build number and kernel number are pretty different (screen shot attached).
Can someone guide me easy to follow exact steps to root this device safely? If I mess up, my wife will use the brick on me .
What software would I want?
Where will I download the software from?
Where will I get the insecure kernel from?
I so want to use WIFIKILL at office

Look in the Original Development Section for CF-Root, this has everything you should need and good easy to follow instructions....
Read the OP fully Before you try anything!

There is only one issue here.. I do not know what the ODS is as I am new here. It would be nice of you, if you would guide me with links?
You can remove network lock AFTER rooting. You can root using cfroot but ChainFire has only released cfroot for stock firmware not branded 3 firmware so you will need to flash to stock firmware, root, rhen use the network unlonk in the market. I found the CF one didnt work but the other one in the market works.
After you have done this then you can use ClockWorkMod (added with cfroot) to flash the gtalk with video.
There is alot to learn...

can root i9100G not? coz i having a problem on it
Thanks Rajesh. Let me show you the crap apps I am dealing with. The guide you are have referred to; will it work for my branded GS2?
I have another question. Can I de brand the device and get rid of all these apps without rooting it? I will not be able to use wifikill, but then if this is more complicated then rooting a non branded S2; I guess I will have to live with this! HATE IT!
Phone is now rooted!!!
Thank you everyone! My phone is now rooted and I am all set!

its not compatible with 9100G.

Andy developer..!!!! ??
Few people have or use the 9100G and have the knowledge required to root firmwares. If you want development, get the European international model 9100)
Hi..
Even if there are few people using this 9100G ..
you should be interesting for them..
if the developer not help us...!! So who will help..?
thanks for all..
Still waiting..

Why should I be interested?
I develop for devices I have. That means GT-I9100 and HP Touchpad.
Your device is totally different from the European model, and isn't compatible with the same ROMs and kernels.
So without having the device, it's unlikely someone can help.
For ROOTing-->Use Doomlords easy rooting toolkit it works well with the G version
For Kernel with CWM-->Flash superatoms 1.2 kernel using Odian
For CUstome ROM--> Flash superatoms 2.0 with CWM recovery mode.

Check the stickies. Plenty of help there. You can also Google root after galaxy sgh-i777. Do not do anything until you fully understand. If there is a problem while rooting check the stickies for the unblock/return to stock thread. Also check the rules in the general sticky. Welcome to the galaxy.

I HIGHLY suggest you leave the phone stock. It is a great phone just the way it is. Especially if your new to Android phones. At least until you read up on all the pros and cons of rooting. Then read all the stickies in the forums. This is all suggested for your benefit.

This is a self-serve forum. As told you when you joined, you are expected to search for info and to read the stickies. Start with the FAQ. This is not the help desk. You only get what you put into it and simply creating threads for things that can be easily found by searching and reading will make you nothing but enemies in here. Respect the forum, its rules and the many people who "work" in here for free.
Read the stickies, search posts, do research.
You know are ready when you do not have to make these kinds of threads...

What is "this version"?
DL Entropy's back to stock package with root, then use Terminal Emu to inject the zimage of the kernel you want.
I just did it 2 days ago from KK6...

The kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package is here: http://www.multiupload.com/PNQC9KOD4D or http://dev-host.org/UWm
That was step 2c.
Then for step 3, pick whichever you prefer. I do it using Terminal Emulator (3c) after placing the zimage of the kernel I want on the root of the sdcard.
Who needs to search or learn anything on their own. Long as people are willing to answer all your questions, it frees u up to do more important things. Like playing skyrim!!
